Holiday Trees for Salmon, through Dec 24. Every holiday season the Adopt A Stream Foundation helps with the coming celebrations by selling "Live & Wild" Holiday Trees for Salmon at the Northwest Stream Center in Snohomish County's McCollum Park. There is a great selection of live 3 to 5 foot-high ($40, $60, $100) Sitka Spruce, Western Red Cedar, Grand Fir, and Douglas Fir trees that are in pots. Visitors who purchase a tree from our selection of live, potted, native trees, take them home and care for them during the holiday season. After the holidays, visitors can keep their tree and plant it, or return it to the Northwest Stream Center where it will be planted next to local streams helping out next year's salmon runs. Everyone who purchases a tree will receive an annual Adopt A Stream Foundation membership as a holiday gift.
The Northwest Stream Center is open to the public Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hours of operation are Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10am to 4pm with the last Nature Walk admission at 3pm. Admissions: Adults $7, Seniors $6, Students $5, EBT Card holders $3, Kids 5 and under Free. Get a time slot for reservation or call 425-316-8592.
Have your own adventure on the 1/2-mile-long Northwest Stream Center's Nature Walk. Wander past a trout stream exhibit with viewing windows where to see cutthroat trout, sculpins, Salish suckers, fresh water mussels, and crayfish - a highlight for kids! Then go onto an Elevated Forest and Wetland Walk winding through 25-acres of deep forests and wetlands three feet above the forest floor and surrounding wetlands. The Nature Walk is universally accessible and, if you have the need, a wheelchair can be provided. The end of your adventure is the Northwest Stream Center Nature Store.

What's New at Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project www.feralcatproject.org
Call for Carriers!
Spaying and neutering 8,000 cats means a lot of cat carriers come through the doors at FCSNP. They can always use donations of carriers for clients who cats in carriers which are less than ideal for cats to recover in after their spay or neuter surgery: a carrier that breaks, one that’s too small for a big cat to stretch out in, or one large carrier containing a litter of kittens who need to be separated while they wake up from anesthesia, for example. Clients who need carriers are charged a small transfer fee so they can keep the carrier and have a safe method for transporting their cat the next time they need to do so.
If you’d like to donate one or more carriers but don’t have them on hand, try looking for them at thrift stores rather than spending full price. Nextdoor and local Buy Nothing groups are other possibilities. You might even want to check with your friends or your vet to see if they have any carriers to donate!
FCSNP can use hard-sided carriers in any size appropriate for a cat. (14" x 14" x 24" is about as large as is practical.) You can drop them off at FCSPN's Lynnwood location Monday through Thursday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., or email the Renton clinic at rentonadmin@feralcatproject.org to arrange a drop-off time there.

Become a MEOW Guardian Angel: A "Guardian Angel" is a person who cares deeply for an adult cat or cats, but isn't in the position to adopt them. This person pre-pays the adoption fee so that when someone is interested in adopting a cat or cats, the fee is waived. At any given time, MEOW has many adult cats who have Guardian Angels, blessed by the person who wants them to find a home, there will be no adoption fee.
Vouchers for Free Public Spay/Neuter Surgeries Available through MEOW: Thanks to grant funds received, MEOW continues to provide needed spay/neuter surgery support to those in our community.
